Good quality, but tight fitI bought size L/XL since I prefer loose fitting hats, especially since it's a beanie. It surprised me how small and shallow the product is. It's more like a skull cap, designed to be worn underneath helmets or hoods like the product description suggests. Still, it appears to be good quality and the thermal lining will hopefully deliver on extreme cold days. I will keep it for now.

This hat is very warm!I love my new hat, it is perfect for the Chicago windy, cold weather. It runs on the small side (I bought L/XL) but except for that it is wonderful. Love the available colors. Happy that it comes in more than just basic black and white. Will definitely buy more Columbia products.

Too TightI love the Omni Heat, but was disappointed with the Thermarator Hat. I bought three - one for me, my wife, and my son. The hats were a extremely tight fit and very uncomfortable. Returned all three hats.

ski beanieNice looking hat with no thought put into proper fit. Read all the reviews and still thought that a large size would fit. Wrong. This hat just barely fits. Ive got a nike beanie I just love.. Comparing why one hat is so much better I found that the nike has enough stretch in that it fits perfectly. The columbia hat has almost no stretch and is too small to boot. I can man handle it into an adequate fit..barely. Ive bought a lot of gear from columbia over the years and always loved the brand. So come on Columbia and start listening to your customers. Nobody wants to shell out 24 bucks for a hat that is uncomfortable. Fall out of love with this material and get back to something that works.

Child Size, Not for AdultsAs happy as I was to find this on the Columbia site, I was extremely disappointed by the hat. The size was way too small. Not only was it too small for me, it was a tight fit for my 10-year old.
I cannot believe that Columbia would sell this as a product for adults - it is a huge misrepresentation.

A little snug, but does its job.Very warm and useful. Only thing is it fits a little snug. I am a bigger guy and have long hair so i suppose that could be why, i just thought it would stretch more than it really does. Great product.

Thermarator HatThis product is probably very good if it fits. I got a unisex L/XL and I have a very small head (female) and this hat was very tight. So I did not keep it. It would have fit a child.

Nice warm Hat!Bought mine at the store today in Black. It is a nice fit, and the fleece is soft. As well as wearing it as outer wear, I will also use it under other hats/caps including a ski helmet. Good construction and it covers the ears nicely too.

A Great HatI have owned this product for a year now and is my primary cold weather hat. It keeps my head warm without the, "skull crushing" effect from other hats. Additionally, I wear glasses and the hat does not affect wearing glasses. A big plus is the had folds neatly and can be placed in a breast pocket of a jacket. Sizing does run small, I tried a S/M but that was TOO small. By the L/XL if you are in doubt.

Great Hat But....Fantastic hat, but beware, they run SMALL in size. I ordered a L/XL just because of what others stated in reviews about sizing. I do not have a L/XL head, and this hat is still a tad snug.

Runs very smallI ordered this Women's size small for my 12 year old granddaughter because the color matched her jacket. I was too small. Very disappointed.

Runs too small...I have an average size head so I buy all my caps and gear online. Never had a problem before with 7-5/8ths head, but this cap is too small. I gave it two stars because the color and function are right on, but I ordered the L/XL and it ran way to small.

Tight for us with Large HeadsThe product is very good and very warm, however I wear a fitted 7 1/2 hat the L/XL is a little tight and only covers about half my ear. I am hoping after use, it will stretch just a tad and then the product would be perfect.

Keeps your head very warm!It's a very snug fit, however, it does a fantastic job of keeping your head warm. I LOVE this hat. Snug fit also means it doesn't shift around when you're out and about doing normal things. I used it while I was out shoveling snow and didn't have to stop to keep adjusting it at all.

hat too smallI got the XL had and it is too small, I wear a 7 1/4 hat but this thing is way too small. Also, as I am writing this review is see the hat is only $16.50 and I paid $22.00 for it a few weeks ago. I think you should send me a refund for the difference!!!
I am not satisfied with the fit at all

Nice productI usually wear a size 7 - 7 1/4 hat, depending on the shape of it, and I was given this hat in the L/XL ( size: 6 3/4 - 7 1/2) which fits me comfortably and covers the majority of my ears. I honestly can't say that I notice any added warmth from the omni-heat in the hat, but it's still my main beanie for cold weather and light rain.

Almost too warmWish it would get colder here in NYC. Only one or two nights in 20's up to this point. Climate change is making this hat kind of obsolete in the Northeast. When it's in the 60's in November, something's not right. Hopefully it'll be a cold winter so I can use this hat to its full potential because it sure kept me warm on those cold nights.

Keeps me warmI work at on the beach summer and winter. In the winter the winds turn to the north-north east and don't stop blowing until spring... It gets COLD. This hat has kept me warm on chilly nights down to 32 degrees standing outside for hours. I wish it were a little more windproof, but that goes hand in hand with it's breathability. It was a good purchase and I would make it again. Runs a little small.

Good but smallSame as all the review say, it does run a little small. I wear a small or medium and should have ordered a large or XL. But it is very warm and I've used it often in 10-20 degree weather (Faranheit)

Small, but goodIm a big believer in columbia gear, so when I bought this hat to wear, I looked at their new omni wind Eolous and this one the Thermarator. I like them both, but the Eolous didn't come down far enough to cover half my ears. The Thermarator hat at least came down two thirds of my ears but left that last little bit freezing in the wind. Other than that slightly minor major flaw, these hats are great and Id buy them again. The Omni Heat really does it good.

Love This Hat!!This hat runs a bit small, ..I would not consider my head to be be big... I'm 5 ft 4" 130 lbs and average build and I wear an XL in this hat. My husband insisted I get this hat, I was reluctant..because I usually do not like to wear hats, they are not warm or comfortable. However, when I recieved this hat, it is light weight, it fits great and I was wrapping presents and my head actually got HOT!! My daughter 11 years old wears a sm in the hat, and she loves hers as well.

Need bigger sizes, size runs small?I know I have a big head (7 1/4), but this L/XL is just not big enough. It will fit on but it promptly slips off enough to not cover my ears. It probably also has to do with my hairstyle (long). I suppose if you have the same size head and a crew cut, it would stay on your head. Can't say much about how warm it keeps you as I can't wear it. Know that the material doesn't stretch that much

Great item, runs smallI ordered the thermerator hat and another at the same time. I immediately noticed that this this is a very tight fit for a "L/XL" and runs overall small. It is a right fit and doesn't completely cover my ears, leaving the lower half exposed. The fleece is more like a micro fleece and almost a felt material.
Overall, the item kept my head, the part that was covered, nice and toasty at 50F outside. This morning, I had it at 38F and it still did well but I would consider using a hat that covered my ears better due to the size.

Much too smallThis hat is much too small for an adult. I ordered the L/XL size, but it barely reaches the tops of my ears. After trying it on (or attempting to try it on), I double-checked the website to ensure I ordered an adult hat. I cannot imagine who would possibly fit the S/M size.
It seems to be a very well constructed hat and would be comfortable for someone with an appropriate sized head. Granted, I have a larger than average head, but I thought ordering a L/XL would account for that. It does not.
So, if you are going to order this, make sure you have a smaller head and order the L/XL

good hat for outdoor conditionsvery warm and like that it is relatively windproof. it would help if they had size comparisons to fitted hat sizes.
For example:
M/L 7 to 7 1/4
L/XL 7 3/8 to 7 3/4
Etc.
